Mrs. WV America 2022

Lacy  Leona Ferguson is a dynamic nursing professional and a 2015 Cum Laude  graduate from Walsh University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science  in Nursing. After relocating to Wheeling, WV, in October 2015, she  launched her career in Critical Care, making impactful contributions in  the Medical ICU at Wheeling Hospital and later at WVU Medicine Ruby  Memorial Hospital. In September 2023, Lacy embarked on an exciting new  chapter in the Cardiac Cath Lab at WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital,  focusing on Interventional Cardiology, Structural Cardiology, and  Electrophysiology.

Passionate  about giving back, Lacy dedicates her time to numerous organizations,  including the Center for Organ Recovery and Education (CORE), Heather  Miller Memorial, Crittenton Services, A Special Wish Ohio Valley, and  the American Heart Association.

When  she's not making a difference in the medical field, Lacy embraces an  active lifestyle filled with CrossFit, hiking, and exploring her  creative side through drawing and singing. A self-proclaimed Aldi  enthusiast, she finds joy in decluttering, watching Jeopardy, nurturing  her beloved orchid collection, and mentoring women across the state.  Lacy is also a proud cat mom to Mufasa “Buddy,” a long-haired orange  tabby, and Miss Tanzy, a short-haired tortie. She and her husband  recently bought their first home and were married in September 2024 atop  Spruce Knob, the tallest point in West Virginia.
